A Book Everyone Should Read!

Fulton Sheen writes a very thorough book for those just getting their feet wet with Christianity, but there is also a lot of great stuff for those more advanced in their studies. Between his incredible breadth of knowledge and his passion, there is plenty for all to enjoy. He covers the basics: God and free will, good vs. evil, marriage, religious life, Heaven, Purgatory, Hell and losing one's life to find it. Some of the questions he answers exceedingly well include: * Why does God allow evil and suffering? (the best and briefest explanation I've ever read) * Why does Purgatory exist? (ditto) * What is sin and what are its effects? * How can a loving God allow a place of eternal punishment? Though this isn't an apologetics book, there is a lot of information that will help anyone (even those not Catholic) further understand what they believe and be better able to explain it to others. Sheen has such a way with words, that you can't read this book and not feel a greater love for Jesus. Highly recommended!
